Solution

The correct option is C They take place in a single step.

Recall what you saw from the video. Elementary reactions are so named because they have just 1 step in the entire reaction. That is to say that they get completed in a single step.

You will learn a slightly more rigorous definition of elementary reactions soon.

Examples of elementary reactions would be

N2O4(g)2NO2(g)2NOCl2NO(g)+CO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)

All other types of reactions are called complex reactions.
